Another 'stang race
This one was an 86 with flows/dumps, 5-speed, fiberglass cowl hood and the typical Mustang w/Welds setup.
I was expecting to get my a$$ whooped cause I know how light that body style can be(mine is 2400lbs, just stripped and a fiberglass hood). I saw him pulling up next to me and told my lady we might have a race(she LOVES it), so when they pull beside us she says "let's race" thru the glass. We both just roll out of the light ( I like to make it a fair race and hit it at the same time ) and around 3 K we both hit it, he starts to pull till VTEC kicks in, then I gain the edge, I tapped the limiter (Dooghh!), but kept up and started to pull a tad in 3d. in a good 1/4 run I would probably beat him by 1/2 length. Feels good to beat "race cars" in my daily driver.

My bad, '02 CLS, only "MOD" is a K&N filter. I was wanting to get the blower when it came out, but this car wheelhops WAY too bad for that much power and I dont wanna have to mess with tire pressure to reduce it every time. I may get the headers, but I will probably hold off to see if I can get me a new M3, I would have one now but the guy I talked with at one BMW dealership wanted 64K for a USED one that had window tint as the only option......Just recently went to another dealer and was quoted 52 for a nicley equipped one, so Ill just have to wait n see.
